Over Weight Sluggish And Being Given A Boxing Lesson.Fight Waved Just As Knockdown Happens.People Obviously Taken In By Bika And Abraham Fights.Periban I Am Sure Was Up For Them He Certainly Wasnt Saturday Night As He Looked He Had Been Dining At The Local Chippy. Everyone Has An Opinion!!!! Some Of The Posts On Here Are A Disgrace. Wouldnt Want To Be In A Trench With Some Posters On Here.Adios

So when you typed all that, you actually took the time to individually capitalise the first letter of every word? Just wondering.

That's not what I'm saying Jon, re-read my post, you've taken a piece of the post and wrongly interpreted I think mate, I'm not saying he should of stopped Chris earlier, he had no need too, that's not what I'm saying, id rather a ref jump in too soon rather than leave it and risk one of my lads being hurt, and before anyone says it, yes my lads have been at the end of bad ref'ing/judging decisions. Like I said, Howard is a good honest bloke and good ref IMO, So I was defending Howard and all refs in fact, they have a tough job to do and only a millisecond to react, sometimes they get it right sometimes they get it wrong, there only human

Oh right cool just thought because of the heading of this thread he should have stopped chris and troys bout earlier,Its a tricky job for example if hed have stopped that one two seconds earlier even tho hed been down theyd have been up in arms about an early stoppage less than two seconds later and two shots chris is out head banging on the canvas
I still think in a thread talking about early stoppages you should only post early stoppages,unless of course you are using it as excuse to shamelessly showing yr own fighters great ko

Point the finger at Periban.
Turned up out of shape seriously overweight and was looking for a way out.
He even looked over to his corner and shook his head.
So whats a ref to do with a "fighter" that gets tagged and wants out of there ?
Send him out for another whacking ?
What would you all be like if he'd have made him carry on and he'd got hurt ?
Come on guys all for having a pop when justified but on this occasion ....
Hope the tosser enjoys his cheque.

When did he shake his head? Aside from the fact that such a gesture could mean something other than 'I don't want to continue', I don't recall him doing that upon being dropped, though I do remember him immediately getting up and raising his arms in protest.

With reference to your question of 'What would you all be like if he'd have made him carry on and he'd got hurt?', I think it's far more likely that he wouldn't have been hurt; most fighters aren't tragically injured in the ring, he hadn't taken a prolonged beating, the fight had only last two rounds and a minute, and he was up immediately after being dropped and clear headed enough to immediately protest when he realized the fight was over. Danger is inherent in boxing and going by the 'better safe than sorry logic' bouts would be better off not happening or being stopped upon the first sign that a fighter is in even the slightest trouble.

And as I mentioned previously, Love looked to be in more trouble when he fought Periban, yet the ref actually gave him a count and a chance to continue and he ended up winning the fight. I'm not saying that would happen here, but it's not uncommon for fighters to significantly recover from being hurt.
